On 2 May 2024, Waag Futurelab organised the sixth annual State of the Internet, in which major issues of privacy, self-determination and digital rights are discussed.
This year, European parliamentarian Kim van Sparrentak led the lecture. Among other things, she was involved in the AI Act, the initiative proposal on ‘addictive design of online services’, and advocates reducing the power of Big Tech by developing laws and regulations. Also participating in the panel discussion were Naomi Appelman (chair of Racism and Technology Center), Sander van der Waal (Research Director Waag Futurelab), Ilyaz Nasrullah (podcast creator and tech columnist for Trouw).
